F1 Nurburgring Grand Prix 2020: 3 historic moments at Nurburgring Grand Prix circuit

3. Fight between Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa

Formula 1 is not behind when the competitors take a jibe against each other. A similar thing happened in the European Grand Prix 2007 between Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso.

The two were involved in a verbal spat before heading to the podium. The reason was a wheel-to-wheel racing moment between the duo.

The two even got a little too close for comfort on a couple of occasions and even touched wheels at one point. Alonso back then driving for McLaren accused Mass of deliberately doing it.

Whilst, Massa completely denied it, which led to contrasting views and led to a heated argument. Fortunately, in the following years, both drivers reconciled their friendship and even went onto drive for the same team- Ferrari.
